Jacoby Jones and James Jones signed new contracts in the offseason.
Jacksons wanting new contracts? Just keeping up with the Joneses.

NFL contracts should just be 2 yrs long, that's about as long as they last anyways.

Fred deserves it. He's been a very good RB for the Bills and he's making peanuts. They're treating him like garbage. There's virtually no chance he'll be a Bill next year which really sucks. If Buffalo ends up letting Fitz, SJ and F-Jax all go, I'll be done with the Bills for good.

Totally getting out of control. Next, Tito will be looking for a new one.

Or Tom Jackson is going to storm off the set of NFL Countdown looking for more money:"Screw you, Mort! You can't even hold my Jock!!"
As a previous FJax hater, i must admit he looks amazingly good. That said giving him a big contract next offseason would probably end up being a bad move as he'll be 30.

The frustrating thing is that I don't think that it would have taken a big contract to get him to sign an extension. I think something in the range of 3-4 years at $3-5M a year would have done it. They could easily have taken what they paid Brad Smith and given it to Jackson instead. But since they've treated him like he's a scrub and haven't shown him any respect, it would take a lot MORE now to sign him. The Bills screwed the pooch constantly trying to find their next RB when they had him all along. Jackson can't possibly be all that happy that Spiller is making about 3-5 times what he's making. Putting him on part with Spiller at least would have done the trick.
Grove, the surest way to ruin a team's cap, and possibly a team, is to pay star wages to aging vets. I think a more appropriate method would be to give him a nice bonus at the end of the year. Giving a RB a hefty 3 year contract at the age of 30 simply reeks of poor management. While life is not always fair, you will have a hard time eliciting tears from me. He is a mere 30 years of age, and making enough money for most people, including him, to retire on. At 30. Maybe his contract is relatively poor, but really ... lets gain some perspective.
Sentimentality aside, the Bills are probably playing this the right way. It's not as if every RB in the league approaching the magic 30 doesn't start pounding their chest demanding a raise. They know the score, and the posturing should be expected - and ignored.

The Bills are close to $30M under the cap this year. They have no excuse for not getting F-Jax more money right now. They'll be way under the cap next year too and next year they HAVE to spend 95% of the cap.
Might as well pay your stars now, make everyone happy and truly build something for the next 3-4 years.
